Bloody Beggar Review

Debutant Sivabalan Muthukumar’s Bloody Beggar features Kavin as the protagonist, and is produced by director Nelson.

The story is about a beggar (Kavin), who is urged by situations to step into a bungalow for receiving alms. Unfortunately or Luckily? He gets stuck inside the house for the night, where a big drama amongst the heirs of a deceased rich man is at the peak for inheritance.

Kavin as usual delivers a neat and natural performance. He would have been a blessed actor, if he had the opportunity to work with the Late 90s and early 20s directors. He has the potential of an actor, who can suit well for the content-driven and commercial entertainers. Unfortunately, his work goes in vain with this film as it remains too artificial in many places.

Director Sivabalan has attempted creating a dark comedy with whacky characters, which goes totally out of control. The reason is – Poor writing, and weak development of characters. Not even a single character evokes humour, but everyone keeps irritating us with the noise and loudness.

The initial moments are a little drawback, but the interval point and few surprises are okay. But then, the screenplay fails to entertain us in many places.

Musical score by Jen Martin is appreciable. Cinematography and editing too are nicely crafted.

Overall, Bloody Beggar has got a decent making, but lacks a strong plot and screenplay to keep us entertained.

Verdict: Good Idea, but wasted with not-so appealing presentation

Rating: 2.5/5
